Where did you source your master cylinder? I just ordered the only one listed on autohausaz for my 81 caddy 1.6 idi and it's the wrong one. Looked in my Bently and the one I pulled off isn't shown in the versions listed. Mine has only 4 hard lines, and no sensors (those ports aren't even drilled out). I looked at the gasser one listed and it's closer to what I have but still has 2 ports for sensors I don't have. The top MC in link looks clesest to what I pulled off, bottom one is what I got (only one listed for a diesel).

This appears to be the answer, but out of stock :-(.

I used a new 22mm master and new booster, all new S/S brake hard lines and flex lines

I used hard lines based on later cabby to fit the later style master

I used 16v new calipers and 256 mm disc in the front ( kit)

I need some mkii spindles when I do the 100 mm axle swap for the o2a
